I'll toast to that! *joins Stu in a drink and enjoys the warm fire*

And many, many more! (some of us missed the first 5.5 months)

Hey, just so long as you're around for the next six-month anniversary, and the next one, and the next one...



Here's to the Founders for making it all happen!

Gary had the idea and I just helped it along. But its you guys who make this place what it is. Here's to all of you!

No Legion is complete without its founders, Garth!

And there's never been a Garth who didn't give an arm (if not a leg) for the Legion.

I salute you!

Here, here! *cough* (sorry, still not fully recovered but working on it!)

To Legion World and the Founders! And to many more posts and many more drinks!

My, my, the merriment is overwhelming. I must join in. Here's to all you great LWers and new friends.

Can we post yet?

Evening all, how are you today?

Is the piano set up Semi doll? I have an urge to play some tunes for you all.

Any requests?

Hi, Harbs. The piano is always waiting for you to caress it's ivories. How about a little Jacques Brel? And what can I get you in the meantime?

I'd love a half of cider please Semi, and am i right in thinking Jaques Brel wrote carousel?

non?

I'm not too familiar with his work to be honest but he was a musical writer wasn't he?

I'll do a mean rendition of Cabaret right now, though I don't really have the legs to do a good Sally Bowles, sorry

Harby, from where I'm sittin', your legs look just fine

How about a little Billy Joel, is anyone into that?

Here's your half of cider, Harbinger. I'll set the other half aside for later. Absolutely, Brel did write Coursel. Look up the original broadway cast recording of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris. Wonderful songs, wonderful singers. It would make a great addition to your already formidable repertoire.

Cabaret would be a perfect way to start off the evening.

Billy Joel, Say Good-bye to Hollywood is a great song, not to mention his rendition of "New York State of Mind".

Piano Man is the classic, but he has a couple others that I love too. Some are a bit too somber for the good mood of SHAKES though!

Maybe Belinda and I could do the duet to "Unforgettable" that we performed before, for old times sake . After that, I'll let her take center stage, I'd rather just have a Bass and listen in for a bit!

Here's your Bass, Cobie. But "Quiet Please, There's a Lady Onstage".

(That was Peter Allen's tribute to Judy Garland).

New York State of Mind by Billy Joel

One of my favourite memories is of walking through Cenral Park in one of those glorious late September days, quite a few years ago now, with that playing in my headphones!

For Semi and all the true romantics in the audience here goes,

"some people like to getaway
take a holiday from the neighbourhood..."

Great choice. Harbs. I'll dim the lights.

Hm...that sounds lovely...

Your mug looks empty, Cobie. A refill, perhaps?

Some soft Jazz next as I try my hand at Pablo Conte's 'Boogie'.

I love the accoustics here Semi, who was your architect?

Oh I kinda did the remodelling in my spare time, with a little help here and there from Emerald Empress. The triple marine varnished authentic antique swinging saloon doors were all my idea. I've had them a long time.

Bar's open, LW. Come on in. I'm shaking, not stirring.
